The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

"You...bandit!!"

Shi Yufeng's mentality collapsed.

He thought that his family had made such a huge sacrifice, and that he was so lucky to have escaped the scene.

The bandits actually caught up with them!

"If you won't do it, then I will."

Shi Yufeng was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

I don't know which bandit this is.

Although the hood is different from the one used to kill the family head, with bandits, it's hard to say who might be hiding under that hood.

Shi Yufeng said, "Wait! You just said you wanted me to make the first move!"

Song Gua laughed and said, "Then you can do it."

"good!"

Shi Yufeng took out his weapon and prepared to unleash a powerful attack.

Suddenly, he flipped his other hand and took something out of his backpack.

The next second, a red light suddenly appeared beneath his feet, the ground melted like molten lava, and a ball of fire shot into the sky, turning him directly into a pillar of fire.

Shi Yufeng was cremated on the spot.

"Didn't you say... I should make the first move...?"

"Just say you didn't move your hand."

Song Gua walked over and searched through his charred corpse, discovering that he was clutching a black needle in his other hand.

After investigating the information, it turns out to be an assassination artifact, belonging to the category of illusionary items.

It's quite powerful, and the key is that its attack is stealthy and difficult to detect.

If he succeeds, he might have to sacrifice one of his clones.

Shi Yufeng is dead, and everything in his backpack has been exposed.

Guess what the Song hexagram discovered?

A divine artifact, the upper body of the Vermilion Bird Artifact Set, a reputation artifact!

That's not all.

Innate Ganoderma lucidum, dragon bone, materials for forging divine artifacts, legendary quality energy crystals...

These are all extremely rare and exceptional resources!

Why would a mere second-tier cultivator from the Shi family have these things on him?

Could it be that there's corruption within the organization as well?

of course not.

The older generation of the Shi family risked their lives to help some of the younger ones escape, not just to leave a glimmer of hope.

This is also to preserve the heritage and resources of these families.

The Shi family originally had a No. 1 warehouse, which contained various rare and valuable items and illusionary artifacts.

This warehouse is located in the Shi family's ancestral home, and the Shi family's senior members usually live nearby. Trying to rob it would be tantamount to starting a war with the Shi family's senior members.

However, ever since their Warehouse No. 3 was looted by bandits.

The Shi family, mindful of potential dangers even in times of peace, felt that storing resources in a warehouse was not safe enough. Therefore, they temporarily transferred their most valuable resources to the higher-ups, seemingly with the intention of placing them in a safer location later.

Wouldn't it be safer to use the resources directly?

That won't do. If this generation uses up all the rare and precious resources, what will the next generation use?

Large families also have their own considerations. Unlike bandits, their warehouses don't contain any rare or valuable resources; anything produced is used up immediately.

Over at the stadium, Song Gua didn't know what method the older generation had used to transfer all the resources to these people who had escaped.

Now, it will all be transferred to the bandits.

Shi Yufeng was the third member of the Shi family who fled and was killed by Song Gua.

The previous two were the same, a backpack full of precious resources.

However, he now has an extra piece of equipment from the Vermilion Bird Artifact Set.

"The Shi family's artifacts aren't just reputation artifacts, and they have more than just one or two sets of reputation artifacts. They were probably brought out in batches like this, hehe... Brothers, let's collect the artifacts!"

If Shi Jian could know this from beyond the grave, he might be brought back to life by the anger caused by Song Gua.

With the help of Magnet Brother's pursuit and Fog Brother's constant following, Song Gua kept changing positions and caught up with one Shi family member after another who had escaped.

When the first rays of dawn shone on Xichuan City.

The Song hexagram will kill the last member of the Shi family.

This last one had already reached the edge of the city, and the fog outside was right in front of them.

But Death God Song Gua still handed him the scythe.

"Good heavens! Three sets of reputation artifacts, twenty-eight scattered artifacts, over three hundred units of artifact forging materials, and over a thousand units of rare resources!"

In addition, there were also the complete sets of level 60 and 65 resources looted from Warehouse No. 2 last night.

The bandit became rich overnight!

As the saying goes, "When a whale falls, all things come to life; when a family perishes, bandits become rich!"

So what if I haven't been able to gather resources for the past month or so because I've been wanted by the police?

Honestly, Song Gua no longer cares about the hard work of farming resources in the wilderness.

He pulled out his phone and started searching for "a list of outrageously powerful tycoons".

"Let's see who the next lucky one is."

The idea behind the Song hexagram is very simple.

As the saying goes, one can gain both fame and fortune.

What does that mean?

You're going to steal things anyway.

Those who rob good people will only earn a bad reputation.

Rob bad guys and you'll get a good reputation.

This multiple-choice question seems easy to answer.

Just as Song Gua was calmly checking the fall, a familiar voice came from mid-air.

"Young friend, your presence appears and disappears erratically throughout the city. But what's strange is that although your presence has vanished, you remain in the same place. After much deliberation, I've concluded that you've likely swapped places with other people dressed like you. Is that right?"

Song Gua was deeply shaken and looked up at the sky.

The Drunken Sword Immortal!

"How did you find me?"

The Sword Immortal smiled and pointed to his head.

"We cultivators possess divine sense, which allows us to easily discern a person's aura. For someone like you who doesn't know how to conceal their Dao source, we can easily detect the Dao source within you, and even the quantity of it."

Yes, I forgot about that.

The cultivation systems are different.

Professionals who are not in a specific profession do not possess powers similar to divine consciousness.

This specific profession is also highly likely to appear in a very small number of Sage sequences, making it very difficult to encounter.

Even if they possess similar abilities, they only work on data measurement and cannot affect things related to the very essence of life.

"It seems that the fleshy alien also has a similar ability to divine consciousness, so it discovered the source power in my body and wanted to take it from me."

"Exactly, all the people in the Illusionary Realm are currently attacking each other, collecting Dao Source... or in your words, Source Power."

The Sword Immortal of Wine landed.

Although the Drunken Sword Immortal did not appear to be hostile.

Even the usually steady Song Gua still swapped positions with a clone.

"Sigh, you're gone again."

The clone spoke in Song Gua's voice.

"It's alright, I can speak for him. Since the senior has come over again, he must have something to say. Let's have a chat."

The Sword Immortal looked at his clone and shook his head helplessly.

"Alright, I've been chasing you all night, and I'm a bit tired. This place is deserted, so it's a good spot to talk."

The Sword Immortal generously handed over the wine pot.

"Want a bite?"

Song Gua waved his hand and then took out a pack of cigarettes.

"Want one?"

The Sword Immortal shook his head.

"This substance is impure; I will not consume it."

Song Gua lit one himself.

"So you really are a cultivator?"

"Seeking immortality and enlightenment is simply a pursuit of a carefree life."

"What level have you reached?"

"The purpose of cultivation is to be free and unrestrained, so why be bound by the concept of realms? Below the immortals and above the mortals, the path is long and arduous."

Song Gua nodded, pretending to understand.

"Amazing, amazing..."

"Wasn't it you who asked that mythical beast alien how to absorb the source energy from others at the place where you were singing last night?"

Song Gua's eyes lit up.

"Would you be willing to tell me, senior?"

"nature."
